Thanx Denise for sharing the story of your dad and some of his experiences as a Tuskegee Airman.

I recently watched the movie about the airmen. So much was unbearable!

What a price to pay to serve America and keep it safe for all citizens.

All of your words strike significant notes, Denise. I take each to heart and echo everyone. Indeed it does not behoove any of us to chastise or speak ill of the rest of us. The world is as it is from where each of us sits.

Let us search, find and shout the praise and the stories of our brave (as well as the not so brave) men and women kindred who served in the armed forces from the beginning of the nation to the now.
